The experience

Overview

Student experience

Why did you choose to study the Master of International Business at the Melbourne Business School?

Where other postgraduate degrees are quite focused, I was attracted to the broad variety of topics studied within the Master of International Business, including the perfect opportunity for me to gain an understanding of how to make effective business decisions in the global market.

What has been the most valuable lesson you have gained from studying at Melbourne Business School (MBS)?

Studying at MBS, I have gained first-hand experience in cross-cultural communication. I have worked alongside students from Iceland, Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia and Eritrea among other countries, and made many lifelong friends along the way. Most of my subjects have required me to reflect critically on my own frameworks for understanding the world and in doing so, I think I have learned a great many lessons about negotiating business deals with people across the geographic divide.

Student enrichment

Adrian Yeung, Master of International Business Graduate 2016

The most enjoyable aspect of the Master of International Business for me is that it is not all theory; it has lots of practical elements too. I've developed crucial skills that are necessary to function in the increasingly globalised and complex nature of today's business world.

During his studies Adrian took part in the Global Business Practicum where our students work in small teams as consultants, solving real problems for companies in Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong and KL. He now works as a Marketing Coordinator – Innovation and Digital Solutions at KPMG Australia.
